Shout out to Frank of Strike Gold Shave + Raffle!

Recently I had the privilege to discover a great artisan and awesome fellow wet shaver. He hand tied a knot for one of my Prometheus handles and also helped me restore a handle that had a few defects. Moreover, he equipped this handle with one of his hand-tied knots free of charge! 

Today I received these brushes and would like to give a huge shout out to Frank for his generosity, craftsmanship, and exemplary customer service. To follow on his footsteps and to give an opportunity to experience his hand-tied knots I am giving away the brush that Frank generously restored for me.

Those who are currently not able to afford to purchase one of his brushes please respond to this message with a simple phrase “I am in”. The thread will be open until August 23. On August 24 I will create a raffle and will draw a winning bid.

This is an honor code based raffle and there are only three conditions to participate:
-you currently are not able to afford a high end brush,
-you commit not to sell the brush if you are the winner,
-you commit to post an in-depth review of the knot and its performance.

LET THE RAFFLE BEGIN!


PS. Don’t forget to check Frank’s software! I have a couple of his soaps and aftershave s and they are among my top performers!

Happy shaves,
Alex

Alex! I would like to participate in your draw. I have quite a few brushes, but I don't have a single hand-knitted brush (except for Oumo Lotus Manchurian). But, it will not be entirely fair. I can buy a brush for $ 300-350. But when I receive it, it will cost me at least $ 400. Delivery, insurance, customs duty. But, even this is not the main thing. It's just that I highly doubt a hand-knotted brush will perform twice as well as some of my $ 150-200 brushes. And so I can't pay about $ 400 just to find out if I'm right or wrong. And one moment . I will not be able to write a very detailed review. I do not speak English . But, I have a great desire to try this brush.
I am in .

I am in. I am a huge fan of SGS and Frank’s software. The handle ties brush though has been out of my reach. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Wow! What an offer. You are going to make someone very happy.
